The image says it all.. I think it's wrong to body shame either, but preferences do not make you shallow.. And I see the below image every day, where men get hate when we won't date fat chicks because we prefer healthy women, which by the way a person's weight is fully controllable by the individual. And a woman saying stupid shit like they wished they invited a repellant spray for short guys, how tall a man is cannot be changed.. Both are just preferences.. But body shaming men is acceptable and encouraged, body shaming women can get you canceled.
It's true
It's false

I would say this is completely true, women are free to body shame men, men cannot body shame women. what about you?
Look at the majority of older actors and actresses. We see an older, rough around the edges guy on tv that’s fine. Other way around it’s unheard of well rarely happens. I do believe women are more accepting of male bodies
Yeah it’s a bit fucked up how everyone keeps blindly following this “body positivity” movement. It’s good to feel good about yourself, but you have to understand that you won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. This is really true of everyone. I don’t think it’s wrong for a man to not want to date a fat girl, and I don’t think it’s wrong for a girl to not want to date a short guy. Everyone is entitled to their own preferences.
People are missing a key point, THE SHAMING! Someone openly and honestly admiting they dislike Bigger women or prefer Taller men is not body shaming because you aren’t shaming anyone you’re just stating your prefence. Now mentioning that you like thinner women then proceed to give a bigger women a Million reasons to why she isn’t worthy of your love [Because she isn’t thin] is body shaming! The same goes for Prefering taller men, when you decided to send a shorter man’s self esteem down a couple notches is when body shaming begins. We all have prefences and while at times they can seem shallow and hurtful, We should be allowed to have them But there should be no reason under any circumstances hurting someone’s feelings because they don’t fit that preference is acceptable!
I think body shaming women is more taboo in our society because it's a more serious problem than men getting body shamed. It's like asking why isn't there as much outrage when a white person is needlessly killed by police than there is when the same happens to a black man; because police brutality is (relative to population size) more often inflicted on African Americans.
Men body shame women ALL the time. I'm not sure how you got the impression that that's not the case.

At no point in my question did I mention they don't.. What I'm saying is when women body shame men it's given a blind eye, but when men do it to women we get attacked for it, go back and reread my question and details, if you think you have it, read it again..
Your claim and example are about how women feel about it. If you reverse genders it still holds. Men think women shouldn't body shame men for their height yet judge on weight.
